"He doesn't seem to understand the TRO," Barton told LA County Superior Court Judge James Blancarte, according to the New York Daily News, adding that Spaw has texted and called her too.

"I definitely feel he's been stalking me," she said. "I look over my shoulder all the time when I'm walking. He's intimidating. He's 6-foot-4. I would be terrified to see him."

The judge extended Spaw's restraining order until 21 July when he will rule on making the ban permanent at a final hearing in the case. Spaw was not in attendance at Friday's hearing as he was visiting his sick mum, his lawyer said.
